The only thing that I can add here is that my experience of dealing with the chicas at the DR is that it is a very cut throat competitive business. It can lead to sister against sister,and cousin against cousin.
Ain't that the truth! While most people have the impression of latina families being close, and in general, that is indeed the case, that is certainly not always true. I've personally known many instances of
one sister (or even the mother) throwing her sister out of the house because she would not work in the BM and bring home money. I've also witnessed many occurrences of extreme jealousy between sisters. Of course it doesn't help that most of the chicas at the BM lie whenever their lips are moving. In many cases, that tendency to be dishonest carries over into family matters. Once someone tells you a couple of lies, even a family member, how can you ever trust or believe them in the future?
